Tyler Zeller on a rebounding roll

Posted Jan 27, 2012
Tyler Zeller has now pulled down 116 rebounds in his past 10 games, recording double-digit boards in nine of them. In UNC’s first 10 games, he’d managed 10 or more rebounds only twice. And entering this season, he had posted 10 or more rebounds only seven times. His mid-season surge on the boards is a key reason why the Tar Heels entered the week leading the nation in rebounding margin. (ESPN.com)
